Abstract
An application executing on a first computing platform includes containers executing role instances. One or more logical storage volumes include segments allocated to the application and references in a mapping table. The mapping table indicates a tier ID corresponding to the computing platform on which each segment is located. A snapshot of the application may be restored on a second computing platform. The mapping table may be copied to the second computing platform and used without transferring segments from the first computing platform to the second computing platform. Reads will be routed to the first computing platform using the tier ID in the mapping table.
